If you're watching #GershwinPrizePBS, you heard @brandicarlile mention @jonimitchell had polio as a child in the 1950s. We love what Joni had to say about that & about her more recent brain aneurysm during a public conversation with @LibnOfCongress the week of the concert. 👇

"...when Joni Mitchell sang George Gershwin’s 'Summertime' at DAR Constitution Hall earlier this month, something like God entered in the room." He's not wrong. #GershwinPrizePBS tonight at 9 p.m. ET. washingtonpost.com/music/202…
Perspective | Joni Mitchell sang Gershwin. I think I heard divine intervention.

Joni Mitchell was awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and then delivered a performance that was utterly profound.

President Carter shared this story with me about the Camp David Accords when he joined us in 2013 for a national celebration of the Gettysburg Address. It is a beautiful story that speaks to our country's history. @CarterCenter @CarterLibrary

When Ken Burns asked every living president to recite the Gettysburg Address in 2013, Pres. Carter shared this story about Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the Camp David Accords. We are thinking about the President and thought all would appreciate this wonderful story.

Cherlynne Theresa Thigpen (Lynne Thigpen) was my inspiration during her long tenure with the Carmen San Diego series and always playing Chief Inspector. I don’t have her exact job, but my job is to help people thanks to her!
